    [Do you struggle with making eye contact? Do you tend to look away or cower on the inside when someone looks you in the eye? Do you have trouble sustaining eye contact once it’s been made?
    Strong and confident eye contact is essential when it comes to creating extraordinary confidence, and today, we’re going to be discussing how to develop strength in this area.
    Why is it so difficult to maintain eye contact with someone who we consider to be attractive or powerful or otherwise intimidating? Well, there is probably some argument to be made regarding evolutionary psychology, threat and dominance; and while that point is probably perfectly valid, it’s not a rabbit hole I would like to go down today.
    Instead, I prefer to visit this subject from an angle that will help you to transform your mindset. Consider this:
    What if this problem is completely built on a foundation of insecurity?
    What I find with many of my clients is that they fear eye contact because they are worried about other people’s opinions of them (to a debilitating degree). They’re scared that they’ll be too intense or lack a connection with the other person or not blink enough-some are even scared that the person will be able to see emotions or personality aspects they’re trying to hide. There are as many fears as there are fish in the sea.
    We’re afraid of being disliked; we’re afraid of being judged; we’re afraid of people seeing right through us. We're scared.]

    A daily occurrence. I don't have an issue with passing by strangers, only when having direct conversation with an individual. What ends up happening is all recognize my eye contact, be self conscious and think i should look away, then throughout the remaining conversation majority of my attention is directed towards this looking at then looking away from the individual. it completely ruins my thought process and my ability to generate conversation. i want things to feel natural, it just seems forced. any tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

      I know this sounds crazy but what has been helping me is remembering how I’m not just the body. Remember you’re a soul and spirit and know that the other person is also soul and spirit. So the body including eyes becomes an expression of their soul, but is not their soul itself. Just like how all your thoughts emotions heart etc are not your body. You can’t look at yourself in the mirror and know immediately everything that you’ve been through or your true heart. That comes from interacting with people. So we must give people our time and patience and focus on learning about them and who they are, what they believe in, etc so we can know them. If we think we can know them by just looking at them then we need to remember that we can’t do it that way. Obviously we have to look at one another but let’s remember that there is a soul in there that we have to crack open by using our words and asking questions. Or else we will be judging outward appearances our whole life.

  • @TaxEvasi0n

    Baby steps. I was watching your eyes pretty much most of the time, breaking eye contact when you'd move your hands or whatever. I'll try and keep doing this on other CZcams videos, unrelated to eye contact.
    I work in a supermarket, so I can practice this a lot. When I go out walking through a shopping mall, I try and look at as most people in the eye as I can. I've noticed a lot of people might see you looking first, and then imediately look away.
    I'm trying to add a smile aswell, to make myself more appealing and warm for the pretty ladies. Smiling is also hard, it comes to unnatural to me.
    Thank you sir.

      TaxEvasion I work at a pet store so I have to practice a lot too but it’s not easy. Isn’t it funny that we have to almost learn how to look at people. But it’s not easy for most of us I think. I think for me it’s thinking how they are another part of me somehow, so it should be like talking to yourself but in a different version of you that has uniqueness that we should be interested in learning about

    It's so interesting that I found this video today. To anyone who thinks "If I make too much eye contact, they'll think I'm weird/creepy/etc.," I met with a professional yesterday, first time, and he made serious eye contact, the whole time I spoke or when he was answering me, I mean INTENSE, to the point I caught myself thinking for a split second, "whoa, what's up with this dude?" but which immediately changed to, "Wow, this guy is really listening to me. He's giving me his full attention, he must really care about what I'm saying." You know how thoughts can flash through your head in an instant? That's what this was, and for the rest of the chat, I felt more comfortable, with no thoughts of rushing through to get done because he obviously has other/more important things to do/people to see.
    This is way too long to say, simply, I find it flattering and classy when people make eye contact with me.

    I've always been good with eye contact during conversations. However, I was terrible with looking at people on the street etc., coz I imagine them yelling at me saying "what are YOU looking at???!!!" lol such irrational thoughts man! So now I start looking at people on the street and on the train... And none of those scary imaginations happened in real life! Haha. It is more relaxing to look at people now and I find that this world opened up so much for me! I can even look at the things that other people are using (e.g. phone, newspaper, article etc.). I used to feel that people will get angry at me for looking at their stuff. Now it seems okay! Yay!

    Until I found this article (The Neuroscience of Making Eye Contact)
    The most useful info I got is that is related to VOR and cerebellum and it can be improved by working out and playing sports which is cool !

      It certainly could be, it wouldn't be uncommon at all. This is something we bust right through at my live events. Work on building your general confidence and gradually begin increasing your eye contact a little at a time. You can make tremendous progress in a fairly short period of time.

      I believe you change by understanding that your subconscious mind is 30,000 times more powerful than your conscious mind. Our thoughts become our words, actions, habits, character and destiny. We can change by focusing on thinking more powerful thoughts that focus on success, prosperity, love, harmony, peace, and joy. A book that has been very profound for me is The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, but you have to read it at least three or four times. Then you have to make a strong effort to do the prayers up to 5 times a day and keep planting those seeds in YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS mind which is 30,000 times more powerful than just trying to change your actions alone.

    I speak well but I realized lately I have bad eye contact so last time while I was speaking to someone who I think has a great personality. I made sure to look right into his eyes as he speaks and I did that until he turned away his eyes, it felt great confidence booster. Most of the time I still make a very bad eye contact but as soon as I realize, I fix my eyes on to other person (specially while listening) until he turns away just get some more confidence. Like you said, facing the fear/hesitation in my case and practice is the key.

      Yeah I get that feeling sometimes where I feel tense or like it could cause a fight by looking at someone, especially another guy. But I think that’s just our mind being insecure for a second and trying to fool us. I think if we have the mindset that this person is part of me, equal with me, and think how they have the same or very similar thought process going on that it will defuse the tension and will probably make you smile and feel like we’re talking to a cool dude

    Dr Aziz it often happens with me when people say something nasty or rude. I want to give it back to them and I able to but I cannot make my eye contact with them . When I start my conversations I look at people but then I look at something else. Sometimes I listen to nasty things feeling I should respond but talk to myself about them and abuse them inside my heart.

    • @JBEMurphy
      @JBEMurphy Před 4 lety

      Ehsaas Mehta hi I also sometimes have nasty thoughts pop into my head while talking to people but don’t worry, just shake them off and remember they aren’t really how you feel. They mind can be controlled but it also can get away from us without practice like Dr. Aziz said.
      Tell someone who you’re close with about your situation and practice. They won’t judge you for thinking that way just tell them that’s not how you really feel, but your mind plays tricks on you sometimes. They might even have the same thing going on and can tell you what they do to overcome it.
      Remember what Aziz said, that people actually love eye contact. That makes me remember that by looking at people and making the effort to have a conversation will pay off by making you feel the love that we are inherently meant to feel as human beings.

  • @heidigrauert6956
    @heidigrauert6956 Před 3 lety +1

    I think it depends on the people who you attract when it comes to eye contact One time at a reunion there was this guy that actually looked at me very deeply through eye contact. It actually felt special to me because I’ve never had anybody look at me like that before and the guy was actually absolutely gorgeous but what I did not know was that he was engaged and I guess I’m attracted to married men when I can’t be attracted to people like that LOL
    But unfortunately he was not wearing his engagement ring when he should’ve been at the reunion and it led me on to thinking he was available when he really wasn’t
    Then I feel like oh crap I can’t get involved with people like that. I want to be with somebody that is single but there’s not a lot of people that are single nowadays everyone is getting married and I’m the only one that isn’t. It scares me to get involved with somebody because I’m scared that someone else will treat me the same way I was treated from before when I was abused
    Every time when I turn around I feel like I’m attracted to someone that’s actually married I don’t like that too well
    I never get looked at by single people I get looked at from people who are married More so. I’m just not sure why
    The second sometimes I think that when someone’s giving you eye contact and if they’re looking at you it comes across whereas they think that you’re attractive or then again maybe not you never know

    we live in a neurotic society, and neuroticism is contagious, this is why i might feel nervous based solely off of someone else’s uncomfortbility. route conclusion, this society is fucked how we live how we do things is all a sham, materialism has never been this chaotic in human history ever since right before the fall of the great roman empire. this life of luxury cannot sustain itself for much longer

      There's no set time limit, however, do it too long and it could come off as just staring at someone. Try varying the times, a few seconds here and there. Get a feel for it.

      I have actually had more than one client with this exact issue, and I've always helped them overcome it. Unfortunately, the answer isn't a quick-fix answer in a CZcams comment. However, it often doesn't take that long. I helped one client overcome this forever in just a single weekend. Of course, it all revolves around confidence and social anxiety issues. Let’s have a conversation and see if we’d be a good fit to work on this together. Reach out to me via the Coaching page on my website here: www.socialconfidencecenter.com/coaching/

  • @breakthroughmoment1647

    This is an awesome video. People can also think you're being intrusive or immodest (especially, strangers in public). Just yesterday, I was in the waiting room of a doctor's office and noticed a really cute, young couple with a baby. The wife and I exchanged glances a few times, but when I stood up and looked at the husband as I was exiting the room (and it was only because I heard him answer his cell phone), he gave me one of those unfriendly, "What are YOU looking at" looks. I was a little annoyed because I thought they were such a cute family. And this wasn't because of the phone call (I could see he was pleasantly surprised). It was just when we locked eyes that he gave me that nasty look. Often, when I meet someone's gaze and it's initiated by me, they give me a cold, hateful look in return. Unfortunately, your theory has backfired on me. Any thoughts on that?

      Try to reduce the time you are making direct contact. Look to the side and come back to their eyes. See what combination makes them feel more comfortable.

I’m going to try and focus on what it feels like to have a relaxed face and eyes and have that muscle memory for when I start to look at someone. Maybe that will remind me what being relaxed feels like
